Kiwis Answer the Call

Kiwis Answer the Call


UK politician George Galloway has called for volunteers to join the next Viva Palestina Arabia international aid convoy to break the crippling Israeli siege on Gaza.

Due to set off from London on 22 April, this convoy will be the first to attempt to enter Gaza with much-needed construction vehicles bearing building equipment to help reconstruct the schools, clinics and public buildings destroyed by Israeli attacks.

The siege has blocked such aid for over 5 years.

Four Kiwi volunteers have been selected as the Kia Ora Gaza team to join this humanitarian convoy, to be led by Galloway.

People wishing to support this project can visit the sidebar of www.kiaoragaza.net for details on how to donate to the Gaza Appeal.
